The best GF pastries in Vancouver!

I’d avoid the GF bun it’s very dry and crumbly but they the most celiac safe place I know! Dedicated fryers, very knowledgeable staff and amazing GF fried chicken! When you order online they even have a celiac option to check off.

Sienna Woodhall

I love their gluten free batter! Always a good time and the food is fresh!

Kade Lentz

So nice to be able to enjoy vegan and gluten free treats without worrying. So many different flavors.

Chey Petrich

GLUTEN FREE CROISSANT OF MY DREAMS!!

Ali Crossley

Absolutely fantastic. Quick service and amazing gluten free options on menu….you wouldn’t even know it was vegan ;) the Kalimari is a absolute game changer!

Ivo S

So many amazing GF options - almost 90% of the menu is naturally or can be made GF!

This was the second time I've had their pizza! The cashew cheese is sooo good! All crusts are wheat free, and they have separate oven and fryer for celiac. The cashew blue cheese dip was the perfect pairing. One thing I wanted to add is the last time I had the BEST vegan ice cream flavor I've ever had. Lavender and butterfly pea! Please do that again!

As someone with multiple dietary restrictions, I really appreciate how clear and easy to navigate Virtue Bakery is. No guessing games, everything is labeled, and the staff behind the counter genuinely understand the ingredients. It is refreshingly straightforward without ever compromising on flavour. Their offerings include all gluten-free, and a variety of dairy-free, egg-free, and low-sugar baked goods, catering to a wide range of folks. They do have nuts on-site, goodies share a display case, however whatever is labelled as nuts has nuts in it and other stuff doesn't. A rare gem for those of us with dietary restrictions! I love the df lavender brownie and df banana bread.

Adrienne Rademaker

Great pizza. My partner has a gluten allergy, so he always orders the gf crust and it’s almost as good as the regular pizza crust - by far the best gf crust I’ve tasted.

Lana Fedora

In heaven. Most items are or can be made safe for celiac. Had the Yum Bowl…sooooo good. The best part though? GLUTEN FREE ONION RINGS. They were just incredible. If you’re able, come down and chow down. It’s definitely worth it.

Justin Malhi

Service and atmosphere are great but food is beyond mid and overpriced considering the lack of real flavour, definitely not the most enjoyable sushi, iki is miles better for gluten free folks. But this place was alright.

We always have a fresh and delicious gluten free meal at Hitoe. The service and sushi is exceptional. So happy to have Hitoe in the neighborhood!

Jonathan Saunders

Good gluten free and vegan options, all clearly marked on the menu. Excellent service and very knowledgable staff

Jessica Doig

Gluten free waffles with caramel sauce and sautéed bananas. Amazing!! You can also substitute the gf waffles as a savoury base for their eggs Benedicts. So scrumptious!

Noah

Great spot, and better than most other dairy-free/gluten-free baking in Vancouver. Their vegan cakes + cupcakes are especially good - about as close as you can get to a dairy cake in terms of texture and flavour

André Paris

I will however that the very busy bartender didn't know of his own establishments policies and practices surrounding gluten free. Everything is prepared separately. Use an app like find me GF if you want a more accurate picture of any establishment.

Andrea Schartner

Amazing food, amazing service, beautiful restaurant. And basically everything here is gluten free!! This is definitely a new favourite spot. Thank you!

Nikul Sharma

We where served so well by the staff esp Ashwanth. The food was awesome and gluten free allergy was well taken care off. Highly recommend for ambience and Tasty Indian food.

Анна Нікіфорова

That is a very nice place, with a lot of gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options. I got the drink on the house and it was delicious and refreshing lemonade. Didn’t get the chance to ask a servers name, but he was delightful and very friendly. The food was well seasoned and really tasty. I also asked about the weight of lamb to count the proteins and they provided that to me. I would rate it 6 stars if I could.

RIZZO 250

Really nice place to relax with a few drinks. Didn't have any food as we had just come from a café but we did get a flight and oh my god. I need to go back to get more if that blueberry basil. Until I do it will stay in my dreams, Highly recommend checking it out. They had indoor outdoor seating. Their menu had things marked as Gluten Free although since we didn't order im not sure if they have a designated fryer or not. Thankyou for the wonderful service staff, you were all so nice 😊

Justin Malhi

A lot of gluten free options, pricey but the food is very solid. Waitress was kind and the vibe was lovely!

Darragh Greaney

Couldn’t recommend this place more. Staff were honestly amazing. Modified the menu for celiac and honestly was so so tasty. Hats off to the chefs! Special thanks to Kat, Paige and Darren. They were so welcoming and nice, one of best experiences we’ve had to date in Vancouver. Thank you all 🎉

If this is your first time visiting Vancouver, Miku would be my top recommendations on your itinerary list for places to eat. Now, this isn't your typical sushi restaurant, in fact, I would consider this to be fine dining and here's why. When it comes to Japanese food, presentation is the most important next to customer service level, and they are bang on. I absolutely love how intricate their sushi layered to simplicity on a plate. Reminds me of a zen garden. The waiters/ waitress' are knowledgeable of their dishes being served and super friendly! Dishes are, at minimum $20, but the portions are decently sized. (Anything with Wagyu will always be expensive). They do offer gluten -free and vegetarian dishes and non alcoholic drinks. (I had their Shiso Nojito and it was the most refreshing non-alcoholic I've ever had. Not too sweet either). Overall, I would highly recommend it for first time travellers to Vancouver. It's absolutely a beautiful place to dine in!

I chose the Pour house based on reviews and a widely advertised gluten free menu. There is indeed a gluten free fryer however other allergies were not well managed. We discussed extensively with the team what was available and were offered chips and a green salad. As we were attending a show nearby we took the option believing it to be relatively safe. We were disappointed at the lack of effort to accommodate or make any suggestions of suitable items. I had a reaction shortly after dinner. I would not recommend this venue to anyone with a serious allergy

Christopher Black

Service was amazing. Food was mediocre; brisket was good but lacked flavour; ribs were tough and dry; mac and cheese was spicy, but needed someone else; chicken was good and it was gluten free.

Julias H

Great food at an awesome price, terrific service and extensive gluten-free options. Highly recommend the chopped scallop roll.

I absolutely love The Acorn. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for a cozy dinner or a special night out. The menu is creative and beautifully presented, offering a wide range of seasonal, locally-sourced vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Every dish feels like a work of art, bursting with flavor and texture. The service is top-notch, with knowledgeable staff who are genuinely passionate about the food and happy to accommodate dietary preferences. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or just curious about plant-based cuisine, The Acorn will exceed your expectations with its innovative approach to wholesome, delicious food. The cocktails are also outstanding, with unique, well-crafted drinks that pair perfectly with the dishes. Overall, The Acorn offers an unforgettable dining experience that will leave you eager to return.

Gluten Free options available! Had the Eggs Benny - falafel patties instead of English muffin - and they were amazing. Highly recommend any meal here.

Cody F

Probably my favourite ice cream place in Vancouver. Try to get there a couple times per summer. They have seasonal flavours that are always interesting. Had the easter egg on this last time and loved it. They list gluten and vegan friendly options and are very accommodating.

Y'all!! I've been getting delivery for a while from here, but finally went in to eat the other day. The staff were all friendly. I would've given 5 stars to the delivery quality alone, but would give 6 stars for the fresh stuff. The machetes are phenomenal. ¡Perfecto! And the yuca fries... *Drools As a celiac, it's nice that most things are gluten free, and as I've never felt sick from eating here, it's one of my safe go-to restaurants. If you're in the area, I would 100% recommend this place, especially if you eat gluten-free (or even have dairy restrictions too, they can take care of you).

Kaley Merritt

Went there to celebrate with a group of 5 people. The wait staff were very friendly, I was greeted by each server I passed as I came in. The servers were always nearby to assist when needed and the owner was walking throughout the restaurant helping to attend to each table. The service was a 10/10 and noticeably better than most restaurants. The food was incredible and so flavourful. We ordered most of not all the appetizers to share and they were amazing. We had a vegetarian in our group and there were plenty of vegetarian options to choose from. They also had a variety of gluten free and dairy free options too. I will definitely be returning to try their entrees. The lamb popsicles are what I have my eye on for next time. They also had an extensive drink list which included a good variety of non alcoholic options too. Are the prices high? a bit but food costs have increased and most restaurants have had to adjust their prices for this reason. For the experience and the value of the dishes, it’s reasonable. The ambience of the restaurant was nice and dimly lit. We all enjoyed our time there and I will definitely be going back again soon!

I love the food and vibe here. As a Celiac, I always order their Trifecta Rice Plate and have always been asked if I'm Celiac or have a gluten allergy, which is reassuring. My non-Celiac partner usually gets their banh mi and he loves them.

Becca

This place was great! As someone with celiac disease, it was so nice to know everything was 100% gluten free, and my non celiac fiance loved the bowl he got too. I had the regular size porchetta with honey mustard, rice pilaf and garden salad and it was delicious and the perfect portion. Will 100% go back next time I am in the city! But do note, there is no bathroom so make sure to not wait until you get to the restaurant like I did, assuming there would be one lol.

Sarah Stephenson

As a celiac, it's very hard to find places to trust. Practically this entire place was gluten free! Killed Mexican with a creative twist. Loved it - highly recommend!

5 stars Havana on Commercial Drive is an absolute gem in Vancouver! 🌟🇨🇺 From the moment we walked in, the energy was buzzing ⚡ — warm, vibrant, and so welcoming. The décor is colorful 🎨, the music is lively 🎶, and the whole vibe just feels like a mini vacation! ☀️🌴 Perfect for date night ❤️, casual hangouts 🍻, or even solo chill time. Food: We went all in — and wow. 🤤 We had the Cubano sandwich 🥪, pulled pork tacos 🌮, and plantain chips with guac 🍌🥑 to start. Every bite = flavor explosion. 💥 The Cubano was perfectly pressed and cheesy 🧀, the tacos were juicy and fresh, and those plantains… dreamy. Don’t skip dessert either — the churros were warm, crispy, and dipped in chocolate heaven 🍫🔥. Drinks: Cocktails were on point — we tried the Mojito 🍃🍸 and the Havana Old Fashioned 🥃. So refreshing and bold. Bartenders here know their craft. 👨‍🍳👏 Service: Service was amazing! 🙌 Everyone we met was friendly 😄, super helpful, and genuinely passionate about the place. Shoutout to our server for solid recos and great vibes the whole time ✨💬 Atmosphere: Cozy inside 🛋️, but the patio is a total vibe 🌇🔥. It’s heated, covered, and perfect for people-watching on The Drive. Great music, cool art on the walls 🖼️, and the whole place has that laid-back but buzzing feel. Pro tips: • 📅 Book ahead on weekends — it gets packed! • 🍳 Check out brunch — it’s a hidden gem. • 🥗 Plenty of veggie + gluten-free options! • 🎭 Bonus: there’s a theatre in the back for local performances. So cool! Final thoughts: This spot gets it. ✅ Food slaps, drinks hit, staff rules, and the vibe is immaculate. 💯 Havana is easily one of my fav spots on The Drive. Food: 10/10 Drinks: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Vibe: 11/10 Run, don’t walk. 🌮✨🍹🍽️🔥🌴🎉💃🕺💯 Can’t wait to go back!

My wife and I along with our kiddos (12, 10, 8) were exceptionally pleased with our time at Red Robins at 803 Thurlow Street. While parking was (to be honest) a little involvement (and expensive!) I cannot sing the praises of our server (Chris) enough. One of my kids has Celiac and we had no issues (that same kid also had over FIFTEEN helpings of the oranges, haha). My other tikes also enjoyed several helpings of the bottomless Mac and Cheese. Not to belabor things but Chris was a true model of servanthood. We could not have asked for more :-)

I had been given a few coupons for some free ice cream, and wanted to finally come see what the fuss was about. Upon my fiancée and I getting there, we were pleased to see the different available flavors and styles clearly marked with their respective allergens. As my partner has Celiac's disease, it was important to avoid gluten, but the staff member at the counter was able to keep is informed clearly about any gluten risk, and was even able to use my 'free scoop' coupon to go towards a pint to take home! Great experience, and FANTASTIC ice cream. The London Fog is very worth trying.

Aislinn Flanagan

I’ve always loved coming here. Today was probably my 6th-8th visit, and I can say with confidence that Hello Nori is very consistent. The yellowtail hand roll with Shiso leaf added is my favourite. The by the glass sake options are great and they all pair well with the rolls. Lisa was my server today and she was excellent. She checked in lots and made sure that the chef was aware of my gluten intolerance. Gold star for Hello Nori, I will be back!

Samuel Hall

Delicious! Great vegan and gluten free options. So good. I love it.

Tina Nguyen

Friendly staff and all the food is tasty, vegan, and most are gluten free too. My favourites are the smoothies!

Francisco Matz Trujillo

Service may improve though seemed to be shorthanded on a Sunday evening. Food was good, fish and chips (rice flour batter is an excellent solution for gluten issues).

Billy Muir

Many gluten-free options available and the smoothies are satisfying.

Jordyn Kimel

William Parsons

We tried: The Rib Pork Bites, they fell off the bone and melted in your mouth The Yam Fries were tasty (and vegan/Gluten free!) Chicken K... something, were delicious. Recommend all of these to anyone who likes food.
